  1. Is he linking it to consequences, or is it just a polite request?

  2. Okay great, now let’s have the US not block the call for a ceasefire at the United Nations.

  3. Jared Kushner has nothing on redditors. If you guys were in charge we would have world peace and Israel and Palestine holding hands on a new moon base.

  4. I can’t wait to hear how this isn’t good enough from people who have been demanding this for months, while also ignoring every other effort he’s put towards a ceasefire.

    edit: Disabling notifications. Already got a reddit cares message, several personal attacks, and it just isn’t worth it.

  5. I’m dissatisfied with the current state of affairs, but I don’t envy Biden’s position here, or any US president’s. That area of the world has been a shitshow before any of us were born and will likely remain so after we’re dead, especially with climate change to throw a grenade into things.

    I do believe he’s doing the best he can with the shit hand he has to play, but the problem is that the entire game is fucking stupid to begin with.

  6. Waiting for goalposts to be moved now that he has called for immediate ceasefire. I’m sure everyone hating on Biden will now say this isn’t close to enough and they still won’t vote for him until XYZ occurs (spoiler alert, they won’t vote for him then either).

  7. The construction noise from goalposts being moved will be loud

  8. Oh boy, time to see how the tumblr tankies turn this into more fuel to scream at him.

  9. I know with Biden this should been done a while ago, but Joe is tired of Netanyahu’s BS. So might as well start twisting his arm about it.

  10. What a weird thread. The people who’ve been calling for a ceasefire for months are made out to be the bad guys?

    Centrists man..

  11. …but here’s a bunch of Blackhawks, and missiles, and guns, and bullets, and training to one side of the fighters, not to mention unceasing vetos in the UN.

  12. It’s about fucking time. 30,000 people killed, most of them women and children, not terrorists.

  13. It’s good he’s calling for a ceasefire. But Hamas has already shot down the most recent offered ceasefire. Plus numerous offered ones before that and violated the last one they did agree.

    It’s good he’s finally saying this. But it has no effect on the conflict

  14. This is a significant development, and given that this is coming right on top of him moving to engage in airdrops, this is a significant step in the right direction.

  15. Okay, so how is this bad for Biden…

    (Scans thread)

    Go outside, losers.

  16. Hey maybe the primary campaign in Michigan actually had an impact.

  17. Well well well. Look who’s paid attention to ‘Undecided’ primary voters.

  18. MMW – Bibi is a killer and won’t stop till he can build a settlement on the destroyed land in Gaza

  19. Stop vetoing UN resolutions then for fucks sake!!

  20. The headline is misleading. Biden said that they are working on a deal for the release of hostages and a 6 week ceasefire. Watch the video, don’t read the headline. He’s not forcing Israel to stop. Everything is contingent on having a deal that involves releasing hostages and the ceasefire is only temporary.

  21. Biden has been calling for cease fires over and over but I guess the dipshits just don’t get it.

    Fuck you “uncommitted”. What utter fucking useless people you are.
